According to legend, there was a young Croatian princess named Zlata who lived in the 11th century. She was renowned for her beauty and was betrothed to a Serbian prince. However, when her father, King Petar Krešimir IV of Croatia, learned that the Serbian prince had been killed in battle, he arranged for his own son to marry her instead. Zlata was devastated by this turn of events and threw herself into the sea from the cliffs of Trogir, where her body was later found. Her tragic story became a popular theme in Croatian folklore and literature.
